Hi all...wow, has it ever been a long time since I've done a posting! You all are going to fall over from the shock of it aren't you? So sorry it's been so long but we have been dealing with some health issues in my family and I have had little to no time for crafting. But, I am home with my crafting supplies now and am I ever excited to show you one of the new images that Digistamps4Joy released on Sunday. Unfortunately, I have been having problems with Blogger...gggggrrrrrr....and it wouldn't let me download my picture. Thanks so much Margy for suggesting that I go through Google Chrome :) Anyways, now that I can download again, onto my card!

The image is called Retail Therapy and it was just perfect for a card that I needed to do for my daughter for her best friend. I used the sketch from Creative Stamp Friends to showcase this little beauty.

I made that card for my daughter's best friend for her birthday. I colored the image with my SU felts (I was in a rush as we had forgotten about a card for her birthday lol) and my Crayola Pencil crayons with oms. The yellow dp (if you look closely it has small spots on it) is by Bazzil as well as the light blue cs. The blue dp is by Recollections. I will come back to let you know what the die's are that I used as I just want to try and get this posted now. The flowers are from my stash and the ribbon was from the dollar store. I got the idea for the ribbon from another blogger, but for the life of me I can't remember who it was, so if anyone knows someone that does this please let me know. I would love to give credit where it is due.

Thanks so much for coming and looking...and go take a look at our challenge blog for the rest of all of the incredible images that were released.

About Me

Hello, my name is Charlene. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 26 years and I have 2 children. A boy 25 and a girl 21. I live on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada...better known as the Wet Coast because of the amount of rain that we get.
I first started crafting when my son was in his second year of Beavers. My husband and I became leaders that year with 2 other wonderful people. I found that I had a nack for finding ways of making crafts for the Beavers to do that were cute but inexpesive. I moved on from Beavers into Guiding and followed my daughter through her 2 years of Sparks and Brownies and her first year of Guides. When she left I continued on for a few years. During this time I found that I loved making things by hand for people...so when I was introduced to making cards 3 years ago, I jumped into it enthusiastically. And I have never regretted it. Making cards has given me a creative outlet that not only lets me express myself, but allows me to give something to my family and friends that is truly unique.
